My time you take up
With constant worry and strife
My life you’ve engulfed
But you will not defeat me.

No matter how many expectations,
No matter the regulations,
You will not cause me to quit.
You will not force me to lose my grit.

I will stand after the battle,
I will hold on.
You will not make me rattle,
I will stand strong.

Sometimes I feel beaten and down,
You turn my life and schedule around.
But I will never give up the fight,
For I will battle for my rights.

Green shields may hold me,
But they will never bound me.
I will not be here for eternity,
For when I achieve this, I will be free.

My life you make up
With continuous stressing.
But just being here’s,
An everlasting blessing.
